asaktam abhinandeta saktaṃ paribhavet tathā/
anyadūtānupāte ca yaḥ syād ativiśāradaḥ//
"A courtezan should be agreeable to the man who is attached to her, and despise the man who does not care for her. If while she is living with one man, a messenger comes to her from some other man, she may either refuse to listen to any negotiations on his part, or appoint a fixed time for him to visit her, but she should not leave the man who may be living with her and who may be attached to her."
